Fort Lee, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/08/2016 -- Herborium® Group, Inc. (OTCPink:HBRM), http://www.Herborium.com, a Botanical Therapeutics® Company and the provider of unique all botanical medicines (Botanical Therapeutics®) focused on unmet medical and wellness needs, announced today that the sale of Herborium's lead product AcnEase® to HUT Group, LLC., the largest global e commerce retailer of wellness and beauty products, doubled in 2016 in comparison to 2015.

AcnEase® www.acnease.com, www.acnease.fr, is a systemic, proprietary, all herbal product that contains no chemicals and has demonstrated up to 96% efficacy in eliminating and preventing acne breakouts. In addition, AcnEase has not been associated with any adverse side effects for short term and long term use. From a regulatory perspective, AcnEase is considered a nutraceutical allowing Herborium to take advantage of the rapid global growth of the nutraceutical market.

The burgeoning nutraceutical and wellness market derives its strength from consumer's view of nutritional products being the key to managing health, and the growing trend to focus on prevention instead of reaction to health issues. The global nutraceutical market was valued at ~ USD 250 billion in 2016 and is expected to reach ~ USD 385 billion by 2021.

Herborium Group's products and expertise in developing proprietary, all herbal medicinal formulas (Botanical Therapeutics®) with a proven record of efficacy, represents an ideal fit with new, nutraceutical market trends, as well as more demanding CGMP manufacturing standards for the industry.

The HUT Group websites are Europe's fastest growing online lifestyle, health & and beauty destination.

Together with Hut's marketing experts we are working on making AcnEase a "£1,000,000 baby" on the HUT platform." commented Dr. Agnes P. Olszewski, CEO and Chairwoman of Herborium.
